We LOVE Beginners: What to Expect in Your First Class

Welcome to The Hot Room, it’s Your first class!

🧘‍♀️ What to Expect

Our heated classes are designed to gently warm your body, helping loosen muscles, increase flexibility, and promote a healthy, cleansing sweat. The warmth supports deeper movement and allows you to flow with greater ease and control. You’ll move through intentional sequences that strengthen your core, improve posture, enhance mobility, and clear your mind, leaving you feeling strong, refreshed, and recharged from the inside out. You’ll find you move a little easier, stretch a little deeper, and leave class feeling refreshed and empowered.

👚 What to Wear

Let’s talk gear. You don’t need anything fancy, just something functional and breathable. We recommend… Fitted workout clothes such as tank tops, sports bras, shorts, or leggings. No shoes or socks needed, barefoot is best for grip and stability. A hair tie or a headband to keep hair out of your face. Avoid anything cotton-based; it gets heavy and holds onto sweat.

💧 How to Prepare

Set yourself up for a confident, comfortable first class with these simple steps:

1. Hydrate before class. Stay hydrated by sipping water consistently throughout the day, including the day before, not just right before class.
   
   

2. Eat smart. A light snack (like fruit, toast, or a smoothie) about 1–2 hours beforehand will fuel your flow.
   
   

3. Arrive early. Give yourself at least 15 minutes before class to check in, meet your instructor, and get settled.
   
   

4. Pack the essentials:
   
   

• Yoga mat (we have rentals if you need one!)
  
  

• Large towel (or a yoga towel to place over your mat)
  
  

• Full water bottle
  
  

• Change of clothes if you’re heading somewhere after—yes, you’ll sweat!
